What is the role of the family in philosophy?
Confucianism uses the family as the basis of society, and the relationships of the family members. He used this as a proper social and political behavior.
What is the role of government in philosophy?
Confucius taught people to govern themselves, and how the state is to govern society. The government is seen as a tool to help bring out the best of its people. Confucius saw it as responsible for the well being for the citizens but insisted that they should not forget their individual roles themselves.
Daoists viewed the government as unnatural and therefore, the cause of many problems. To Daoists, the best government was one that governed the least.
The Legalists advocated government by a system of laws that rigidly prescribed punishments and rewards for specific behaviours. They stressed the direction of all human activity toward the goal of increasing the power of the ruler and the state.
Reflection Questions:
What is the importance of ancestors in Chinese culture?
The ancestor worship culture is still an important part of the belief system for the Chinese people. It is based on the belief between the living and the dead. The living needed to sustain their ancestors as the ancestors were able to influence the gods to bring them good fortune.
Which ancient Chinese belief do you agree with most? Why?
I think Taoism. I think this is the most interesting because I always thought that we should respect our elders and other people. If I was a ruler I will practice Taoism because I want my kingdom to be nice, respectful, and have nice manners to one another.
